The presence of other third party APIs that require JRE 1.4 only prevents you from running prior java versions (e.g. JRE 1.3 won't run code compiled for 1.4 but JRE 5.0 would be OK). So 'third party APIs' shouldn't be a reason to avoid upgrading. The typical reason that POI users have for staying with JRE 1.4 is that their *application*server* is tied to that JRE (perhaps due to configuration management issues). I mention all of this because there are definite downsides with using a JRE which is past its end of life. If you *must* continue using JRE 1.4 and POI 3.2 then your best option might be to start maintaining your local version of POI, fixing bugs such as these. To fix your current problem, you should at least start by verifying whether it is observable in the latest POI (3.6). If it is an old bug there will be an existing fix, and if it is a new bug a new fix will need to be made to the latest trunk. Once the fix has been determined, it is often a simple task to apply it to a prior POI version. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
